What is significant about the fresh water?

Lévitique 14:5 (NEG79)

5 Le sacrificateur ordonnera qu'on égorge l'un des oiseaux sur un vase de terre, sur de l'eau vive.

The phrase “fresh water” could be translated as “living water” or “running water.” According to Kiuchi,1 “the running water, in combination with slaughtering, symbolises the giving of life.”
